scrubbing lp with discdoctor brush and vpi 16.5

I buy only new records. I use the Audio Intelligent 3 step solutions, and I have tried steam cleaning too. But some records, no matter how prestine they look, no matter how long and how many times I cleaned them, they're just plain noisy, and I'm specifically talking about surface noise that's very apparent between two tracks. I know these noise that I heard is not due to my TT setup because I do have some LPs that are absolutely quiet.

So the thing you need to determine is, are you sure the "mixed results" you're getting is not due to the inherent flaw in the pressing itself?

I also do exactly as cincy_bob does. This seems to work best. With all LPs, regardless if filthy, or new, dust=grime will begin to accumilate on the Arm Wand Velvet. Remove after a few LPs, brush clean with a soft toothbrush, rinse with Distilled water, shake excess water, and return to RCM.

With my 16.5 I added a cooling fan, so I can literally run the machine 24/7 without any heat build-up, but for those that don't, perhaps after a 1/2 dozen LPs, drain the recovery tank, get a glass of Kool Aid, or whatnot, take a break, and let the machine rest a few minutes before continuing.

I think all will agree, marathon cleaning sessions get sort of monotonous after so many. I can maybe do 15 at most, with the 3-step AVIS process, and then usually throw in the towel till next time. Mark

I use a 12" x 12" corkboard tile and scrub off the VPI

I just ordered the AIVS 3 step process to use in conjunction with my VPI 17F. My thought was to apply the enzyme solution using a hand applicator brush, the cleaning solution via the pump and brush on the VPI and the rinse solution via a hand brush. Once a record has been cleaned in this way is it necessary to reapply the enzyme for subsequent cleanings or can you just use the cleaning and rinse?
